Revolution Pro Rock Star Hydrating Shine Lipstick

It has been a while since Revolution Pro has caught my attention but these Revolution Pro Rock Star Hydrating Shine Lipstick (£8 here) did just that and I quickly ordered two of the six shades on offer.

Available in six classic shades, each lipstick is housed in an elegant soft-close magnetic case with gold details and they do have an air of Tom Ford about the design and all for a difference in price between £30-£36! 

Want high-shine glamour and incredible colour in one swipe? Look no further than the Revolution Pro Rockstar Hydrating Shine Lipsticks!

The Revolution Pro Rockstar Hydrating Shine Lipsticks are formulated with seven key actives and their role is to nourish the lips while at the same time providing high shine and intense pigment in one swipe.

Key Ingredients

• Hyaluronic Acid – helps to keep lips hydrated
• Peptides – helps to keep lips looking plump
• Squalane – helps to keep lips soft and smooth
• Aloe Vera – helps to keep lips moisturised
• Shea Butter – helps to retain moisture and avoid dry lips
• Jojoba Oil – help to sooth and condition lips
• Cherry Blossom Oil – this helps to maintain lips natural pigmentation and colour

The six shades - Cashmere, Fever, Stripped, Passion, Joy and Velvet. In lieu of being able to see these lipsticks up close, as it was during lockdown when I ordered them, I took a chance and selected both Joy and Velvet.

As you can see from the swatches above, which as always will remain unedited, you see them how I see them from a simple swatch, these lipsticks are impressively pigmented and it glides onto the lips so smoothly as the formula is incredibly creamy.

The two shades I chose are both incredible wearable and having made a choice just from what I saw online, i’m pretty impressed with my choice, the shades:

• Velvet – Pink With Neutral Undertone (Rosewood Pink)
• Joy – Nude with Warm Undertone (Warm Brown)

Of these two shades, Velvet is the one I’ve found the most wearable for every day use, but Joy is just as lovely.  

For £8 these lipsticks are worth every single penny, from a quick glance you would never guess they are highstreet branded lipsticks, for me they are on part with some of the higher end branded lipsticks I own and wear with the formula, how easily they apply and even the longevity. Once applied Velvet lasts 4-5 hours before needing to be re-applied and Joy slightly less but still a really good wear time.
